Sun I got to visit my country school and the house I grew up in!! The school seemed so small to me now. It is dusty and falling apart, but it is the only one left in Miner County.

This is the girls coatroom and bathroom.

I know GROSS but it wasn't when I was a student there! Plus it was inside I think it was called a chemical toilet no water to flush it was an outhouse but inside:)

I'm sure this was Mrs Anderson's storage, there was a book case in the back of the room and that was our library! It's gone now.

The paint is the same as when I went to school there!

Several years ago one the teachers from Howard would take her students out there and have class.
Johnny and Lucas wanted to see it too. We met them at Larry and Julie's house where I grew up. Then we walked to school like I always did:)

It is a shame to see it fall apart but I understand it takes lots of money to kept these old buildings repaired.

These horses are the school house's company now.

I went there until I was in seventh grade, and had Mrs Anderson for my teacher. I had one neighbor boy as my only classmate. My best friend Connie Hart was a grade ahead of me. She was the only one in her class. Mrs Anderson came with us to Howard when the school closed. I had her as a teacher in 7th and 8th grade too.
Before we toured the school Larry and Julie were gracious enough to show us my old farm. They have kept it up, and added so many things to it, that is is just beautiful. They made changes to the house, but still has the same feel as when I lived there only better:) From the bottom of my heart I Thank you Larry and Julie!!!.......................JMF

We went up to Britton to Buckhorn rodeo. A couple of cute cowboys here running the calf pens!!

I might be alittle partial tho beings it was Kordell and Matt:)

Dane was helping park cars and Ellie was keeping me company on the hillside. Kari was working the ticket booth and then the concession stand.

The weather was perfect.

This guys was riding high and fell hard!! It took him a minute to get back up.

Of coarse lots of cowboy hats.

Love the feather:)

Can't forget Old Glory.

So serious

Bull riding is my favorite. Greg bought raffle tickets for the 6 guns they gave away no luck on winning one of them, but Kordell won the 22 shells. They were in a big plastic container mixed in with corn! He is going to have some hours of sorting to do....................JMF
